The details: Recipe for the 427: Take from the Z06 one engine, driveline, rear axle, optional Magnetic Ride Control, optional carbon fiber hood and fenders, mix with ZR-1's rear spoiler and lightweight wheels wrapped in Michelin PS2 rubber. Hack off the roof. Drop onto a steel frame (the Z06's aluminum frame would flex too much without a roof). Add open road. Serves one driver and one passenger.

A good take on the model. It isn't a killer in any category, but the finished product is a classic performance car experience. Get the LS7 while you can, and this car is a great way to get it.

With the top up or down the 60th 427 is a very pretty car.
